Finishing a brand new install on a brand new machine, compiling kernel 3.4.9 is OK. Boot from it also. Just a detail: the USB keyboard is not recognized, no input possible (works fine under BIOS or when booting from the install disk and chrooting). I must have forgotten something, some driver. Any cue ?
Also I cant'remember the name of that utility that makes the mouse recognized on the console...

Mouse on console: gpm Just emerge it and don't forget to start the
service and add it to a runlevel. ;-)

CONFIG_HID, CONFIG_HID_GENERIC, CONFIG_USB_HID and
CONFIG_INPUT_KEYBOARD should all be set to y, not m.

Most USB keyboards and mice require *LOWSPEED* USB 1.x support. This
is *IN ADDITION TO* USB 2 and/or USB 3 for harddrives/keys/etc. If you
have an Intel or VIA chipset, you need UHCI (USB 1.0) support built into
your kernel, like so...
Device Drivers --->
[*] USB support --->
<*> UHCI HCD (most Intel and VIA) support
If you have an AMD machine, select OHCI (USB 1.1) support...

I believe you're asking about "gpm".

I ran into this too : I have an AMD processor in the new machine,
but an Intel in the old one, & the drivers for AMD are different.
You need to install all 4 of the 'xHCI' drivers (not as modules).
Look at the kernel help notes for them when configuring it.
